How to Open the Trunk When the Key is Locked Inside a Cruze?

Cavalier keys locked in the trunk can be opened using a spare key. If there is no spare key, you need to contact a professional locksmith company to unlock it. Do not attempt to pry it open yourself. Related introductions are as follows: 1. Interior: The interior adopts the standard Chevrolet design language, with a winged cockpit design that creates a sense of layering and a rich sense of fashion. The dashboard uses lines and chrome for styling and decoration, paired with a 7-inch color LCD touchscreen, adding a sense of refinement. It is equipped with Chevrolet's new-generation intelligent vehicle system, compatible with Baidu CarLife, meeting daily mobile phone connectivity needs. 2. Configuration: In terms of configuration, the Cavalier comes standard with engine auto start/stop, driver/passenger airbags, child safety seat interface, engine immobilizer, ABS anti-lock braking system, electric mirrors, in-car air conditioning/pollen filter, etc. Except for the lowest-priced Xinxiang version, other models are equipped with a multifunction steering wheel, electric sunroof, tire pressure monitoring, hill start assist, rearview camera, rear parking radar, daytime running lights, including a central color display, Bluetooth/hands-free calling, etc.

I remember last time when I was driving the Cruze, I accidentally threw the keys into the trunk and closed it—I was so panicked at the time. A friend suggested I use the spare key—luckily, I had left one at home, so I called my wife to bring it over. She easily opened the car door, and then I pressed the trunk release button inside the car to solve the problem. If there hadn’t been a spare, the rear seats of the Cruze can usually be folded down—there's a pull handle on the seat, and with a gentle tug, you can climb in to retrieve the keys. Never try to force open the trunk lock yourself, as it can easily scratch the paint and waste money. I recommend everyone get into the habit of checking their pockets for keys before locking the trunk, or keeping a magnetic key box hidden under the car for emergencies—it saves a lot of trouble later.

If you accidentally lock your keys in the trunk of a Cruze, don't panic. First, check if the car doors are unlocked – if you can get inside, there's usually a trunk release lever under the dashboard or by the door. If that doesn't work, ask a family member to bring the spare key. Most models have foldable rear seats; you can climb in through the back and use the interior release. As a last resort, contact your insurance provider's roadside assistance or a professional locksmith – they can typically resolve it in minutes. To prevent this, avoid leaving keys in forgettable spots, and keep doors unlocked when parked at home for peace of mind.

Using the key card to open the trunk is quite troublesome, especially at night. Safety first for Cruze owners. Immediately seek help from family members for a spare key; if the car door is unlocked, the interior trunk release button can solve the problem. If that doesn't work, don't take risks—call a locksmith or the dealership's emergency service. Preventive measures: keep two spare keys at home and the workplace, or upgrade to a smart key system. In case of an emergency, avoid attempting to pick the lock yourself to prevent body damage and additional issues.

I enjoy DIY solutions for car issues. When keys are locked in the trunk, first fold down the Cruze's rear seats - the top pull handle is easy to locate. Once inside, find the internal release button or cable. No seat folding function? Keep a professional lock-picking tool or thin rope as backup, but avoid excessive force to prevent vehicle damage. Develop the habit of holding keys in hand before closing the trunk, or hide a spare key in secure spots like dark corners of the garage. This makes future incidents much easier to handle.
